As a word image editor, Photoshop is as simple as they come. It has a few menus and buttons on the surface, but a multitude of tools that allow users to use it to create various types of images from simple shapes and backgrounds to full-scale imagery.
However, like everything, Photoshop has its pros and cons. Its strengths are certainly its tools for manipulating images, but its weaknesses come in the features that Photoshop lacks. It also has a steep learning curve.
In this Photoshop tutorial, I will show you not only how to use Photoshop’s interface but also look at how you can add a more professional image to your web and graphic design portfolio using Photoshop.
Photoshop Tutorial #1: How to Use Photoshop
User Interface
To begin, we need to understand the user interface in Photoshop. We will need to know what buttons are on the front of the program as well as how to navigate the different options.
On the left side, we have a browser with the image you are editing. As you can see, we have options such as:
Load File, where you can pick your image from disk, the web, and we’ll explain that in a moment; Open, where you can open any file you want; and Save, where you can save your work to disk.
You can also add a path for an outline, which will help you in the next tutorial. If you have been editing your image, you can use the Backspace button to return to your previous state, or you can Save your work to disk.
To the right of the browser, we have buttons that are important. The top left corner has the menu bar. If you click on it, you can access the different menus. Among these menus are:
Layers. We’ll cover that in depth in this tutorial.
Adjustments. This is a collection of the most common Photoshop adjustments, such as Levels, Brightness and Contrast, Curves, and Hue/Saturation. We’ll cover those in later tutorials.
Brushes, which help you edit any type of content in the image. This includes watercolors, pastels, and almost any other type of brush.
History, which saves your history of editing.
Fill, which allows you to fill any empty areas in your image with the color of your choice.
Gradients, which can fill areas in any direction.
Draw, which allows you to

Photoshop Elements is a more affordable version of Photoshop but it does not compare to Photoshop. In this tutorial, you will use the following learning steps:
How to get the free Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019 version
Download the latest version of Photoshop Elements 2019 for Windows (download size: 6.3 GB).
Elements 2019 is available in the site.
The trial version of the program is about 1 GB in size and for 2 days. You can use the trial version until you are satisfied with the program.
Part 1:
Create an EZ Image Extension Plugin
Download the Photo Effects template from the site and extract it.
Go to the EZ Image Elements folder (Win). You’ll see two folders — PS_Elements_Photoshop_2019 and PS_Elements_Photoshop_2019_2
Replace the two folders with the Photo Effects folder.
Open the template and drag and drop the provided.psd template into the Photoshop Elements 2019 to create the necessary elements.
You now have Elements. If you don’t know how to apply effects in Photoshop Elements, read the tutorial on applying effects (additional learning step #5).
If you already have Photoshop Elements and you want to be updated to the latest version, go here for the download.

More than 350,000 people have signed a petition asking Theresa May to address Westminster Hall at the Conference of EU Chief Ministers next week as part of the debate on her Brexit deal.
Their hope is that she might show she is more interested in hearing from all sides of the House of Commons than in presenting a deal that would be akin to government by binary majority voting.
The closure of the hall for a debate that could now be held until Christmas, or beyond, is the boldest assertion of the Conference of European Union Chief Ministers that it can be a legitimate forum for all sides to state their views on the draft withdrawal agreement.
If a record number of people are prepared to take the bold step of putting the name of their constituencies on the petition, it shows the depth of concern over the fate of the Brexit negotiations.
Petitioners are being asked to put their names forward by the European Parliament petition website and it has yet to name a single MEP to join it.
The petition has 325,000 signatures – below the 330,000 required to get the issue on the Order of the Day for Wednesday 29 November, but this means that at least 50,000 people will have taken the step to ask their MP to bring the issue up for debate.
The organisers of the petition are convinced the House of Commons is uniquely placed to debate the merits of the proposed deal because it is the party of government (MPs) and also of opposition (Tories).
As for the European Commission, it is “a legitimate institution of the EU, but it is not the Cabinet of our countries,” they point out.
This is a reflection of the new dynamic that is emerging in the Brexit talks, a dynamic that shows the EU Commission is losing some of its authority on the talks.
After the Brexit Secretary, Dominic Raab, said that the EU was motivated by “pure vindictiveness” towards Britain in the negotiations, Brussels reacted angrily. They pointed out that they had proposed an extension but that the UK Government refused it, something many saw as pushing their opponents into a corner by refusing to offer a further delay of just a few months.
Theresa May has said that she will also not give ground on her proposal that the EU must agree to an “economic model” of the UK’s future relations with the EU. The reason given for this by Downing Street is that it is so important to maintain the sovereignty of
A series of new coronavirus treatments for the respiratory disease that is putting millions of lives at risk has yielded a cornucopia of firsts. Researchers found that remdesivir stops the virus from multiplying inside cells. They figured out that an antibody directed against the protein that makes up the outer shell of the virus — the spike — can neutralize the virus. (This is by far the most common target for a new drug.) And researchers in China and France found that interferon appears to have real promise in stopping some infected people from developing the disease.
These three drugs — remdesivir, a therapy called chloroquine and a little-used drug with French roots, called hydroxychloroquine — were first proven effective at treating patients during the 2012-13 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. That has led some scientists to propose that these drugs — or some variant of them — might be useful for treating COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus that exploded across the globe in late December.
Consider, for instance, that the first official US guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on treatments to prevent the disease suggest that hydroxychloroquine and a form of interferon are effective. (The guidelines are based mostly on assumptions and not on clinical trials.)
Then there’s a new study published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, in which doctors reported that a 75-year-old man with a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, a heart attack and respiratory problems died after being treated with only hydroxychloroquine and some basic care. The doctors who took part in the case study said the man was “doing well” at the time of the trial and had no evidence of pneumonia or other major COVID-19 symptoms.
“His serial CT scans showed no radiographic progression of the disease,” the researchers wrote. “Throughout the first two days of hospitalization, he maintained his oral intake, did not complain of dyspnea, and was able to stand up and walk around unassisted.”
Now that hasn’t been proven to mean anything. It’s just one case. But it’s a flicker of a possibility. A third of all COVID-19 patients — maybe a good deal more, perhaps even most — will end up with pneumonia, and that can leave people incapacitated. So it’s possible that a drug like
